For the first time, this mountain of Cubs history has been mined and curated by the paper’s sports department into a single one-of-a-kind volume. The Chicago Tribune Book of the Chicago Cubs is a decade-by-decade look at one of baseball’s most beloved if hard-luck teams, starting with the franchise’s beginnings in 1876 as the Chicago White Stockings and ending with the triumphant 2016 World Series championship.For more than a century, the Chicago Tribune has documented every Cubs season through original reporting, photography, and box scores. Each era in Cubs history includes its own timeline, profiles of key players and coaches, and feature stories that highlight it all, from the heavy hitters to the no-hitters to the one-hit wonders.And of course, you can’t talk about the Cubs without
Absolutely gorgeous book bursting with Cubs history This book is a beautiful tribute to the Chicago Cubbies. It is jam packed with beautiful photos (both black & white and color) and includes everything there is to know about the Cubs from past to present, including the World Series! I am a native Chicagoan and lifelong Cubs fan. I also got one for my dad, who has loved the Cubs even longer (he is 88). A lot of new Cubs books have come out since the championship and this one is the winner.. Pam J said Five Stars. Great book for any Cubs fan! Lots of history and great pictures.. An excellent value I like baseball history, so this book was perfect for me. I am re-energized after the Cubs season last year. It was a great value for the money. The Chicago Tribune did a fantastic job putting this book together
